This is a benchark ZDNet performed for several popular database servers:
IBM DB2 7.2
MS SQL Server 2000 EE
MySQL 4.0.1 Max
Oracle9i EE
Sybase ASE
What bothers me here is that PostgreSQL, another open-source alternative that
was reported to be faster than MySQL under high loads by some sources was
not present.
In any case, the tests were contacted on a Quad Xeon 700 MGz machine with
2 GB of RAM and on Windows 2000 Advanced Server (%-)). I wonder how the
results would have been different had it run on the latest development
Linux kernel (or one of those avante-garde 2.4.x kernel trees) where
multi-tasking and multi-processoring was greatly improved.
Note of course, that for a small amount of queries per second and
relatively small load, I don't think this test says much.
